Fellow radio enthusiasts of all the above nets, In the past week I have learned of MRE stackpiling in a natural limestone cave in the Kansas City Missouri area. A 4 month government (don't know the specific agency) contract it would appear, that will result in excess of 35,000,000 MRE's having been stored in the cave. That's enough to feed 500,000 for 22 days roughly. Further, I have learned that, apparently, 23 VA hospitals that are closed (don't know where and don't know the names) are being converted into food storage facilities with all of the equipment having been removed and a special coating being applied to the interior surfaces to enhance storage life. Having said that, any fecom, milcom activity that would shed light on this activity? Any KCMO monitors hearing anything? Anyone in KCMO area that would like to try to find out more and advise the rest of us accordingly?
